Their molars indicated an intermediary evolutionary level since they had more ridges than early elephants but less than modern elephants.
Indicating a varied and flourishing deer population, numerous kinds of deer remains—including teeth from several species and bones—were also unearthed.
Deer are important because they are main markers of the ecosystem that once existed, usually wide forests or grasslands with enough water and flora to support browsing and grazing animals.
Early humans among other predators would have found great food from these deer.
Further evidence for grassland ecosystems comes from fossils of antelope-like creatures.
Usually preferring open environments instead of deep woods, these animals’ fossils assist to recreate the ancient scene as grasslands or savanna-like places.
